There is no immortal town, and people go to the empty building. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

To be precise, it was someone Xu Chen knew who had already gone to the entrance of the building.

"I'm going to be in the capital. ”

Xu Chen said softly, but everyone knew his mood at this time, including his senior brother.

Because, the mood is so similar.

Lu Yin is dead, Xi Fan is dead, Feiyun Dao has declined, or rather, there are only two of them left who can have the right to speak in the world.

In addition, what happened here, whether Prince Chuyang was safe at this time, everything is unknown.

Yes, Xu Chen at this time is not worried about his relatives in Yong'an Town, because there is nothing to worry about, and he needs to go back quickly.

As the old saying goes, where the heart is, there is time.

Half a month later, Xu Chen came to the capital, but it was a little different from the first time he came to the capital.

Of course, there is another person who is in a different mood

There are often two people in the capital who like to scold idiots the most, one is His Majesty the Emperor, and the other is naturally Xu Chen.

It's a pity that they never met.

His Majesty the Emperor has always scolded people for idiots regardless of the occasion, and the scolding is upright and heroic, but Xu Chen is used to whispering about others as idiots in a mean tone when chatting, and he has a small family spirit from the inside out, so he can recklessly scold Chao Xiaoshu as an idiot with His Majesty in the palace today, he is very excited and excited, and the spit stars are splashing everywhere.

The word idiot flew like rain in the quiet palace, which made the queen mother and the eunuch and the palace maid surprised and funny, covering her mouth tightly to prevent herself from laughing, but this scene was a little embarrassing after all, the queen glanced at the female officials beside her, and quietly left the palace with the palace maids and eunuchs.

I don't know how long it took, but the two monarchs and ministers in the palace finally finished venting their grievances, and they stopped panting, and the end of the word idiot gradually became quieter.

The emperor picked up a square towel from the couch, wiped the sweat on his face, looked at Xu Chen, and showed a satisfied look in his eyes.

"What is the matter between Yong'an Town and Wuxian Town? Lu Yin didn't tell me about it when he left, and he didn't explain this matter clearly to me, how did you discuss it? Also, I heard that you and a demon girl from the Demon Sect ......?"

The emperor tapped on the table and motioned for Xu Chen to drink tea by himself.

Xu Chen picked up the tea bowl, but did not drink it immediately, and replied: "This, let's talk about it later, I don't know who she is, I don't know very well now, if His Majesty wants me to go at that time, then I will go." ”

The Emperor asked, "Then you ...... with her?"

Xu Chen took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and carefully told him about what happened back then, as well as what happened in the following years.

The emperor was silent for a while, and said with emotion: "Such a life experience is really bizarre and unspeakable, her relationship with you is also rare in the world, I don't care about the affairs of the sect and demons, I know that she is not a threat to my empire, you have to cherish such a woman." ”

Xu Chen nodded.

The emperor looked at him and asked, "Why did she have to come to the capital with you?"

Xu Chen said: "She has her own affairs, besides, even if she comes now, I'm afraid I won't dare to see her." ”

The emperor listened to his explanation, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of worry.

Xu Chen understood where His Majesty's worries came from, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Your Majesty, although these things are world affairs, they are family affairs after all. ”

The Emperor was silent for a moment and asked, "What did Master Lu Yin say at that time?"

Xu Chen shook his head.

The emperor sighed and said, "Speaking of which, with the teacher's temperament, where would he care about such troubles. ”

The hall was silent.

I don't know how long it took, but the emperor looked into Xu Chen's eyes and suddenly asked, "I want to know, what kind of grudge there is between you and General Ximen Wang?"

Xu Chen didn't think about it, shook his head and said, "There was no grudge before going to the wasteland. ”

"That is, after going to the wasteland, there is. ”

The Emperor looked at him and said, "That's why you killed a military strategist in the town of Immortals." ”

Xu Chen knew that His Majesty was referring to Gu Xi's death, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The minister doesn't know what His Majesty is referring to, and killing a military adviser without permission is a capital crime in the law. ”

The emperor stroked his beard and laughed, and said mockingly: "Even if you refuse to show any tricks in front of me, you have probably been such a cautious guy over the years." ”

Xu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "There are some things that cannot be answered. ”

The Emperor said, "Then you give me a reason. ”

Xu Chen said: "In the wasteland, General Ximen Wang's subordinates disguised themselves as horse thieves and wanted to kill me, and the general himself was waiting to kill me in Haibei. ”

These two things have already been known to the imperial court through the two channels of the secret guards and the Tianshu Office, but apart from reprimanding, the imperial court has not done anything against Ximen Wang.

The emperor put the silk scarf on the table and said, "You should know very well that Mr. Big's handling was what I meant, and you should also understand what I mean." ”

"I don't have any resentment, I'm just puzzled as to why the big men in the Imperial military have always refused to let me go, and I don't understand where the military's hostility towards me comes from. ”

Xu Chen said: "First of all, General Ximen Wang wants to kill me in the wasteland, I can understand that the temptation of the Book of Heaven has carried him away, what about the old general Xu Shi? I used to be an Imperial soldier, so I don't understand why the old general was so wary of me. ”

This is clear.

Whether it is to take care of the emotions of the empress mother, or for the sake of the stability of the empire, then His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not impose severe punishments on General Ximen Wang.

Xu Chen indicated that he could accept such a decision, but he wanted to let His Majesty the Emperor know that he could not accept the faint oppression from the imperial military, and he wanted an explanation.

After the emperor was silent for a moment, he said: "General Xu Shi is undefeated on the battlefield in this life, as for why he is so wary of you, I really don't know, maybe I need to ask him about this matter." ”

Xu Chen thought to himself that although he was now Lu Yin's student, it was still a very troublesome act to question the first person in the imperial military in person.

The emperor didn't let him stay in this mood for too long, he stood up from the couch, raised his sword eyebrows, looked at him and said in a clear voice, "Did you bring that thing?"

Xu Chen raised his hand and touched the hard object in his arms, and said, "Bring it." ”

"That's fine, I'll take you somewhere. ”

The emperor flicked his sleeves and walked out of the hall.

It is the twilight of spring, it is the most charming time of the capital, walking in the palace, you can see the splendid spring flowers everywhere, the green leaves are gradually lush, the quiet lake has no waves, there are occasional pavilions, and the independent side.

His Majesty the Emperor did not bring any entourage or guards, but just took Xu Chen alone, left the palace and walked towards the depths of the imperial garden.

The eunuch and palace maid she met along the way retreated to the side of the road in awe and silence, and then looked at the figures of the two people who were getting farther away, with a look of surprise and confusion on her face.

The people in the palace are the most shrewd people, of course, they know that the young man in black next to His Majesty the Emperor is the legendary Xu Chen, but they don't understand where His Majesty wants to take Xu Chen at this time, and why no one around him has left.

In the depths of the Imperial Garden, there is a two-story small wooden building, painted with vermilion lacquer, which is very exquisite, but compared with the majestic palace in the distance, it still shows a bit of shabby atmosphere.

The emperor took Xu Chen to the small wooden building and said, "This is it." ”

Outside the small building, there were many green trees, wildflowers were in full bloom, and it was obvious that they had not been pruned for a long time, Xu Chen looked at the grass growing between the stone bricks under his feet, and thought to himself that probably few people would even come here.

Then he looked up and looked around, his gaze touching the Imperial Wall, and confirmed that the small wooden building was not only in the middle of the Imperial Garden, but also in the middle of the entire Imperial City.

The emperor pushed open the door of the small wooden building and walked in.

Xu Chen also walked in.

After entering the small wooden building, His Majesty the Emperor did not climb the stairs and went upstairs, but walked downstairs.

A dark passage that juts out deep into the ground of the wooden building.

Xu Chen looked at the dark passage, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking that it was indeed the most important place in the imperial empire, and there was nothing new at all.

The hard stone walls of the passage are filled with things like night pearls, and the faint light exudes a sense of peace of mind rather than frightening.

Xu Chen followed His Majesty the Emperor and walked downstairs, looking at these night pearls beside him, thinking that he could probably buy the Songhe Tower with a bead at random, and thinking about the shabby two-story wooden building above, he felt more and more that the person who built this room back then was very sullen.

Just thinking about these things, his pupils shrank, and he looked vigilantly above the stone wall, only to see several crystal pearls in the forefront, and several deep lines appeared.

Those lines contain an extremely neutral and peaceful but indifferent and strong aura, as if as long as it is emanated, it can crush everything in the passage into powder.

Xu Chen clearly sensed this breath, and gasped in shock, he was a person who cultivated talismans, of course he could understand that these lines were all runes - these runes were very powerful, but they all seemed to be a little broken, and now these lines on the stone wall were just fragments of the original runes.

He looked at the lines on the stone wall, calculated the time of existence, and silently thought in shock, what kind of realm did the former sages who carved these runes thousands of years ago reach, and they could maintain the runes for such a long time, can a rune master like the master do it?

The emperor noticed his expression, looked up at the stone wall above, and after a moment of silence, he said with emotion: "When my father brought me here for the first time, I was as shocked as you, I can only vaguely feel the power of these runes, but I don't want to come here often. ”

"What are the conditions for these runes to be activated?"
